I came into the ep late, was Tony's terror of children mentioned earlier?
He made oblique references to being afraid of something, but never said what. The chaplain had been riding him about that fear all ep.
And I also really like her as a friend for Tony. Last week, I was afraid they were going to put her up as a potential love interest for Gibbs, which she's way too young for, so having her and Tony as platonic friends would be great.
Speaking of Gibbs and the ladies, I liked the flashbacks to the female Marine of his youth; it reinforced that he definitely has an eye for strong and forthright women (see Hollis Mann, Jenny Shepherd, as well as Shannon).
I think she'd be great as a walk-on friend/spiritual advisor for the whole team. It's an angle that could be explored to great interest, and she's supposed to be at the Navy Yard already, so she's handy.
Sad about "Prime Suspect"
Though not Made Of Awesome like the original, it was developing into a decent show.(I hoped to see them go after the same perp for multiple eps like the original, but maybe I'm the only one who wanted it *more* complicated.)
And you know they'll just shove more competitive singing/dancing/weightloss/fashion/ bullshit into the timeslot. More wacky challengrs, laundry, and betrayal. Yay.
which she's way too young for
Why? I totally don't get that. She's not immature. And Gibbs sort of is.
All of his other lady-friends have been closer to his age (again, see Hollis Mann, Jenny Shepherd).
She struck me as just a bit older than the girl he was remembering from boot camp, which makes any potential interest just a touch odd. Besides, he called her Padre, which is much more interesting.

That doesn't mean she's not mature enough for him, though.
Any time I see a redheaded female character on NCIS, I assume she is being set up as a love interest to Gibbs. Now I think she is going to be a love interest for Tony, not a platonic friend, which I'm good with. Tony could really use a mature, adult romantic interest.
She's sufficiently different from his previous interests that she could be utterly fascinating to Tony. I liked the way she pushes him. She's completely confident in herself.
